If you need binary groups you need to subscribe to a service that
offers them. They need a huge amount of disk space and traffic.
Maybe ask some binary providers like feeder2.ecngs.de if they can offer
you access if you don't want to subscribe to the big ones.

What are you going to use? I think I will use the free text ones for now. I rarely do binaries these days.

I use i2pn2 myself. It does have some rate limiting that sometimes bites
me in the pupushkin but on the other hand, it keeps me from spending too
much time on usenet. ;)

I probably shouldn't be asking, but I've always wondered why do people
use binary groups for. I could understand it back when the web didn't
exist, but I can't see the point of it today. Would you explain?

Posting. You can read as much as you wish, but if you post too much, too quickly, they'll put you on hold. They use some kind of average post per
hour algorithm, so what I do is that I go for a walk, and then I can send again.
I get rate limited about 10% of the time, if there's an especially active discussion going on. Usually it is not a problem. I also suspect that in theory you could also reach out to the server owner and ask that the roof
be increased with 30% or so, and you would never have a problem again, but this is too small of a problem for me to have done that.

I do sometimes post a lot. Do you know what's the number posts per hour? What about crossposting to more than one newsgroups at the same time?

Yeah---call me clueless, but I still don't get it. Is anonimity what
people are after in downloading from binary groups? I can't see how a
TCP connection to NNTP would be more anonymous than a TCP connection to
any other service.

I think I received a good argument. In some jurisdictions downloading
is legal, while uploading is illegal. So with torrenting, you also
upload, which makes it illegal. With nntp, you only download, without uploading, so that would be ok in some jurisdictions.
